Tanzania's Ruling Party to Amend Constitution Amidst Leadership Aspirant Surge
Virtually announcing the decision on July 26, CCM National Chairperson President Samia Suluhu Hassan explained that CCM's recent reforms have significantly increased interest in leadership positions at all levels.
Why the Change?
Unprecedented demand: Some constituencies now have *40+ aspirants* for single positions.
Current limit: Constitution restricts shortlists to just 3 candidates.
New approach: Amendments will allow 4-5 candidates to be shortlisted, depending on the specific need.
The amendment aims to:
🟠enhance inclusivity and representation within the party's leadership;
🟠signals a move towards greater internal competitiveness as CCM prepares for the 2025 General Election.
